household, who receives f1 200 a year, and
has private secretary at good salary.
Next comes the lord treasurer of the house
hold, who pays the bills and gets a salary of
81 900 a year. These three constitute the
board of green cloth, and sit as judges of all
offenses committed in the palace; and to as
siSt them and keep the record they have one
secretary at 81 800 year (as it would be in
American money! and three accounting clerks
at S 900 each. Then there is the clei Of the
kitchen at S., 500 year, the chef at the
same and his four assistant cooks at 81, $50
each, the chief confectioner at 81 800 and his
assistant at 81, 200, the chief butler at 81, 500,
the table decker at 81 900, and his assistants
at salaries somewhat less. There are also
yeomen of the pantrieS, ladies Of the linen
room and vast array of chambermads,
lamp lighters, washers, etc. The coal depart
nent alone employs thirteen persons.
Directly about her majesty's person
are the mistress Of the robes, the groom
of the robes, the keeper of the pri-
vate purse, or financial secretary to the
queen, eight maids of honor, as many
bed chamber women and numerous maids
for other functions-all these under control
of the lord chamberlain, who receives
10000 year and is assisted by the groom
of the stole. Next to the ladies who attend
directly on the queen come the gentlemen of
the private household, viz: Eight lords in
waiting, as many grooms in waiting and
divers gentlemen lshers of the priyy chamber,
grooms of the privy chamber, grooms of the
great chamber and pages of the back stairs.
In short, life at the court even in the most
ordinary times is carried on with such pom
derous social machinery and routine that
it almost makes one tired to hear of it. But
in addition to all these, there are two distinct
sets of officials for extraordinary occasions,
with Independent functions and different
codes of ceremonial and etiquette.
At the head of one of these is the marshal Of
the ceremonies. He manages the etiquette on
all state occasions and conducts foreign
ambassadors to the queens presence. The
other is the court of the marshalsea, which
has legal jurisdiction of all crimes and mis-
demeanors committed anywhere within the

queen; but it proved to be unloaded and to
have a defective lock. He received twelve
ping; and there were no more attempts at as
sassination or intimidation.
By the factories act of 1874 children of ten
der years were excluded from the mills, and
the hours of such as were admitted limited to
seven or ten per day, according to age. By
another act it was absolutely forbidden to
employ women or girls i'll the mines and col
lieries Following this came the long and
heated agitation for free importation of food
By the corn laws of 1915 all foreign grain was
tariffed at rate which practically forbade
its importation, except when scarcity raised
the home price almost TO the famine line
The Irish famine compelled parliament to
take action and though Sir Robert Peel had
taken the post of prime minister as a Con
servative, he went over to the Radicals on
this point, and III June, 1916, the corn laws
were absolutely repealed. This was followed
rapidly by removal of taxes from other arti-
cles of food, and consequently by a vast in
crease i'll import and consumption, and since
1850 Great Britain has been pointed at as the
one great free trade nation in the world.
The Irish famine which forced the action
of Peel and his colleagues began in the
autumn of 1915 with a peculiar blight upon
the potato-the standard food of the poor
In 1916 not only did the plant wither under
the blight, but the potatoes rotted even in the

of justice, with the same general law as other
English courts, but with far more ceremony
and vastly more expense in proportion to the
work it does. The knight marshal, who
is the same as sheriff or chief of police to this
court, is a tolerably important parsonage
with $500 a year, and has eight deputies,
besides a few sergeants and secretaries. The
foregoing gives but mere outline of the
system. There are departments of music,
amusement, medicine, charity and literature,
in all of which liberal salaries are paid.
The guest invited to dine with the queen
is expected to remain at the castle over night.
Arriving late in the afternoon he is conducted
at once to his apartment where he receives a
call from the master of the household, now
Sir j. G. Cowell, and if he desires, can have
tea and lunch at once. Full court dress is
required for the dinner; and at s O'Clock the
guests are conducted to the great gallery, as
it is called-a private picture gallery, never
opened to the public even when they are
allowed to visit the castle. At $50 the queen
and Princess Beatrice enter, salute the guests
and lead the way to the dining room, which,
if the company is small, is comparatively
cozy little room, with broad window OPEN
ing upon the central court of the palace. Sir j.
{. Cowell arranges the guests and presides at
the table. Conversation is not in order,
though the queen often chats with her
daughter The time for eating is short, then
the queen and the ladies retire and a few min
utes after the master of the household gives
the signal for the gentlemen to leave, and
thereafter they can do very much as they
please, as they will meet the queen no more.
They can smoke or play billiards or whist in
the rooms for those purposes; they
can listen to music i'll the drawing room, or
read in the library, or yawn and stretch
themselves in their own apartments as, no
doubt, many of them feel like Going. They
can retire when they please and have break
fast in their own rooms, or in the gentle
mems hall down stairs, as they like, but they
are expected to leave as early as IL next day
Meanwhile the queen has spent the evening
i'll her private room, has retired early, risen
and breakfasted early, and taken her morn
ing drive before noon.

On the 20th of June Queen Victoria COM
pletes the fiftieth year of her reigu-an event
to excite the enthusiasm Of Engishmen in all
parts of the world. The ceremonies of the
jubilee year, began in India in February, have
since continued i'll other parts of the empire
and are to end in grand display all over the
British empire on the closing day. And surely
no equal period since the advent of man on
this planet has witnessed such advances in
science and speed, such rapid development in
the useful arts, such an increase of comfort
liberty and enlightenment. Since Victoria
ascended the British throne the population of
the United Kingdom Great Britain and
Ireland has increased 50 per ent.; the
aggregate wealth has more than trehled; the
foreign commerce has almost trebled; news
papers and schools, churches and benevolent
organizations have grown as never before,
and accomplished practical results as they
grew. Laws have improved, humanity adj
vanced, wages increased and the prime ne
ceSsitieS Of life Cheapened, till now it is the
deliberate judgment of the most cautious
statstcians that the British laborer is so per
cent. better fed, 40 per cent. better housed, 80
per cent better clothed and $50 per cent. bet
ter educated than he was in the short reign of
William ~.
Victoria is the granddaughter of George
III, and the eighth in descent through tho
female line, Of that James Stuart who united
the crowns Of England and Scotland. SO

George III was succeeded by his Oldest son
George ", who died without legitimate issue
and was succeeded by William ~, third son
of George III. Early on the 20th of June.
1857, he too died without legitimate issue: so
the right to the crown went next to the
fourth son, Edward, Duke of Kent, but as
that prince had died soon after the birth of
his only daughter, Victoria, she succeeded to
his rights. There still remained the fifth son
of George III, Ernest, Duke of Cumber-
land; ana as the iaT Gf Hanover did not
allow woman to reign that country had
become n kingdom), Ernest succeeded to the
crown and took himself off, to the great de-
light of E,nglishmen of all ranks, who de-
tested him and were pleased with the separa-
tion of the kingdoms. Victoria was born at
Kensington palace, May "a, 1919, and was
therefore but IS years old when she became
queen Her mother had reared her in great
seclusion, and her education and training
were excellent The dignitaries who went
before daylight to announce to the princess
the death OF her royal uncle relate that "to
prove that she did not keep them waiting she
came into the room in loose white night
gown and shawl, her night cap thrown off
and her hair falling upon her shoulders. her
feet in slippers, tears in her eyes, but per-
fectly collected and dignifed." Lord Mel
bourne, the prime minister, set the meeting
of the privy council at II o'clock that day;
there the queen took the coronation oath, and
the cabinet ministers and other privy coun-
ciors swore allegiance to her and expressed
themselves charmed by her gentle dignity
and engaging manners.
The proclamation Of the new sovereign and
her speech in person from the throne in the
house of lords followed soon after; but her
public coronation and the brilliant pageantry
connected herewith took place the next
year-June 2S, 1898. While many persons of
royal blood and many noblemen from vari-
GUS parts of Europe appeared i'll the process

Crimea, where they were joined by the Turks,
and the tedious siege of Sebastopol began.
The battles of Balaklava and Inkermann and
the wonderful. ."charge of the Light Brigade"
were incidents of this war. The sufferings OF
the British troops and the general inefIiciency
of the commissary department showed that the
sinews of British war administration had been
relaxed by the long peace since Waterloo
called peace because they had no wars with
other than half civilized peoples. In this war
Florence Nightingale began the system Of
nurse and sanitary organization which is
such pleasing feature of recent wars. Peace
was made by the treaty of Paris March 30,
1856; but all the settlements made i'll it have
been unsettled by subsequent events.
In 1851 the Sepoys, native troops in the
British service, rebelled in India and massa-
cred many hundred English including women
and children. They were subdued and pun
ished with extreme severity. In 1856 began
another war with China; the French and
British fleets bombarded Canton; the Chinese
made trade concessions to both nations, and
have since maintained ministers at the courts
of other countries. In 1858 Japan granted
the rights of trade in her port to Great
Britain, and after that to other ma
tions. In 1851 the American civil
war began, and the failure of the cotton sup
ply brought misery to nearly million Brit
ish laborers; but after the terrible winter of
1S63-64 partial supplies came from India and
elsewhere. The British authorities allowed
vessels to be built in their ports for the south
ern Confederacy, whict, became privateers,
destroying American merchant vessels. For
eight years the two nations were hostile in
feeling, but in 1871 the matters were ar
ranged by treaty, and court of arbitration,

began. The lowest estimate puts the num-
Der who died at 200,000-not of actual famine
so much as of the fever which followed it.
After this came the famine clearances,n as
they were called, by which tenants who could
not pay their rent were assisted to emigrate;
and i'll less than five years Ireland lost 1000,
900 of her population. In one season 200, 900
Irish landed at New York; and of the first
1905 600 who left their native island it is esti-
mated that 19, 600 died on the ocean or soon
after landing. a wall of rage and anguish
went over the island, and famine was fol-
lowed close by conspiracy and rebellion.
The uprising was suddenly put down, then
followed raids, arrests and state trials, end
ing in the transportation of many men like
John Mitchell, Thomas Francis Meagher and
William Smith OBrien. But an era of
milder government had set in, and these men
escaped or were pardoned.
In 1910 began the war with China, COM
monty called the "Opium War" which Eng
lish moralists severely condemn, and, indeed,
the nation only became involved in it through
being misled by her representatives in the
east. The result was that China paid indem-
nifty of q 100000 sterling to England, ceded
the island of Hong Kong and opened five
ports to British trade During the same year
England joined with Russia, Austria and
rrussla III guarantee TO MAINTAIN the 1nteg-
rity of Turkey, and pursuant to this treaty
these powers put down a rebellion i'll Egypt
In January, 1912, the British suffered
frightful humiliation in Afghanistan, their
entire army of 4,500, with II, 600 camp fol-
lowers, being destroyed by an uprising of the
people The next year they reconquered the
country. In 1914 there was a bloody war in
India with the Sikhs. In 1916 Lord John
Russell succeeded Sir Robert Peel as prime
minister and adopted many liberal measures.
In 1850 fierce religious controversy prevailed
in the kingdom, but the result was to abolish
the few remaining distinctions In 1851 the
noted Crystal Palace was opened, and in
the five and a half months of the season was
visited by over 100000 people. In 1852 the
Earl of Derby Conservative, succeeded Lord
John Russell, and fierce, short war with Bur-
NAH took place, in consequence of some Brit
ish traders having been cruelty treated there.
The British captured the seaports, and early
in 1858 the king sought peace and ceded the
Pegu province to the British. In 1854 - :

THE QUEEN IN HER CORONATION ROBES.
for this occasion, and was received by all
ranks of the people with the widest enthusi-
asm. Another conspicuous figure was the
Austrian ambassador, Prince Ester
hazy, whose dress was literally ablaze
with diamonds. Indeed, ''the EsterhaZy
diamonds" became a synonym for grandeur.
The reception of Soult, with other acts of the
young queen, indicated that an era of liberal
ideas had set in, and the effect was heightened
by the fact that soon after she conferred the
honor of knighthood on Sir Moses Montefiore,
the first jew to be elected sheriff of London
and the first to receive honors from monarch
since the beginning of the religious wars.
Complete emancipation of Jews and Catholics,
and many minor measures of liberty, followed
in due course.
The queen was surrounded and supported
by able men. The Wings, or Liberals, as now
called, were in power. At the head of the
cabinet, as prime minister, was Lord Mel
bourne, and his great opponents in the house
of commons were the eloquent Lord Brousham
and the acute Lord Lyndhurst. Other famous
men then in parliament were Mr.. Grote, the
historian of Greece; Edward Lytton Bulwer,
afterward Lord Lytton; Lord John Russell,
Lord Palmerston, Sir Robert Peel, Mr.. Glad
stone, Mr.. Roebuck and Lord Stanley, after
ward Lord Derby. Daniel OConnell still re-
mained, but his great work was done, and the
rest of his public life was painful and for the
most part improbable. Disraeli was just
beginning to be known, but universally rldi-
culed as "A fop and charlatan. Soon after
three very noted men entered parliament
Richard Golden, the advocate of peace and
free trade; John Bright, his coworker, and
Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose rather
brilliant parliamentary career has been quite
obscured by his greater brilliancy as essayist
and historian. With all these and many
more able men in public life, with general
peace in all her dominions and the enthusiastic
love of her people, the queen seemed to begin
her reign with the fairest of prospects.

all these is historic ground; for this was a
residence of the Saxon kings nearly 1000
years ago, and has rarely ceased to be royal
home at any subsequent time. In those
groves and shaded walks have been held many
conferences and many arguments made that
settled the fate of dynasties, and from the gates
have ridden many couriers bearing dis
